Whew!

With radiation, almost no side effects are really expected. A very small percentage of folks experience headaches. An even smaller amount (as in it's "extremely, extremely rare") experience nausea.

Any guesses how special I am?

I'm not sure if I actually qualified as "sick as a dog" but if the desire to try eating grass from the backyard says anything I just might have been. I listened to a few movies - the action on the tv screen made me queasy. I couldn't eat or drink anything - even one sip of water was like a wild rollar coaster that sent my world reeling again. They finally found a pharmacy that would deliver and it took them 7 hours to get the meds to me.

So I am actually feeling much better now, although still not anywhere close to what I think 100% should be, but hope is on the horizon. I did have to come into work today, so it should be an interesting day. But after that, I'll have tomorrow to relax with my boys that I haven't seen in over 48 hours and I miss terribly, and one knitting class which I'm hoping to the highest heaven will end up cancelled tomorrow. In any event, I'll go back out tomorrow because I finally have a prescription for Synthroid. I'm allowed to start that on Monday, which is also when I can go OFF the horrid low-iodine diet (I'm just gonna pour iodine on everything I eat from now on) and I think at that point I can justifiably say that I am "in recovery"!

Now if you'll excuse me, these words are moving awfully fast, so I think I'll just rest my head on my desk here for a while...
